Our New Journey

living to the fullest

Author: Coco

I have always loved traveling and travel often for work. But 2.5 years ago we moved to Manila and started to travel more for leisure.

I can do minimum necessary, mostly responding emails, joining meetings that I don't need to think/talk much, but can't focus on deep work. I get distracted too easily. The upside is I get to eat a warm bowl of "oatmeal", my kind of comfort food. … Continue reading Perfect low carb oatmeal & decision framework →

2022 GOALS: Relationships

Our Sunday was getting back to our routine. I run for 6 miles and then run some more while Sofia biked. It has been a while since she biked and she really enjoyed it. I spent the morning planning for the week, reflecting goals for 2022, and chose new recipes to make this week. For … Continue reading 2022 GOALS: Relationships →
